He had been selfish and chosen a path that would give him a chance to see them again and destroyed his world by doing so. It would had been better if Idia had never made any friends, hadn't wanted to try to see them again, hadn't been selfish.

His gaze dropping to his plate, poking at it with his fork as his expression drops... before he forces it into something neutral. But lacking emotion. Something to cover up those thoughts. Knowing he has to say something to that.] You've been real good to me. [Idia's tone reflecting that emptiness. Shoving all emotions away. Just getting the job done to keep the conversation going.]
